Fuel used: approx £75/60l
Parts shedded: One (one of the plastic under trays). They don’t like puddles.

Cattle Grids negotiated: OH GOD NOT ANOTHER ONE.
Weather types encountered: All of them.
Dams crossed:2
What else?

Should be OK with summers, but it’s worth checking the weather forecast before to make sure.

Many sheep. The unkind would say that Welsh gentlemen are therefore really, really fond of sheep but such claims should be ignored. I think.

“Cattle Grids negotiated: OH GOD NOT ANOTHER ONE.”
will the cattle grates be too much for a sedan or is a bit more ground clearance required? Or are they just uncomfortable in a car with stiff suspension?
just to make sure, these are the things you’re talking about?

You won’t have a problem with any normal car. Yes, those are the things.
